One of the great things about the Grasshopper is that you can easily experiment with the ratio of the creme de cacao and menthe to find a combination that fits your taste. And whatever that may be, this Martini is a fantastic dessert cocktail and can be served on the rocks for the equally great Peppermint Patty. The suggestion of white and green liqueurs creates a beautiful, pale cream cocktail. However if you use either the brown (cacao) and white(menthe) a drink with a different look is made.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3/4 oz cream
- 3/4 oz creme de cacao, white
- 3/4 oz creme de menthe, green
- grated chocolate, to garnish
PREPARATION:
- Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with lots of ice cubes.
- Shake well.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Serve after dinner (dessert cocktail)
Even better, float this drink! Creme de cacao, Creme de menth, and then cream. This is demonstrated at the end of the Bartender Anime episode 1.
